How is it that a third world country Ike mine pays overtime pay to all employees who work beyond the standard 8 hour work day. 25% of the hourly rate is added to the hours of overtime, plus a night differential rate if you work past 11 pm. +30% if you have to do work during a holiday.
Not being paid for overtime work is very slavery to me.
The reasoning of the judge is because the companies will have to pay billions in OT pay. Fuck them.
B-b-b-but Democrats aren’t aligned with the working class!
I mean this would only have applied to salaried employees earning $20/hr or less which I can’t even imagine what type of field that covers since most hourly jobs earn more than that these days.
This is akin to the “pardoning marijuana possession convictions” thing where it didn’t apply to a single person in federal custody and only benefitted 3,000 people (with past convictions) in the entire nation.
This is basically virtue signaling and/or table scraps for us peasants.
Not sure why you would expect the federal government to be able to do anything with state charges.
I hope everyone joined whatever gains unions had the last four years
Obviously a little late for this administration, but could the next liberal admin try beating them to the punch on this? Are there no liberal friendly judicial districts? Have one of those file a weak lawsuit to uphold the law. Then that could at least be referenced when they attack in a red area.
The problem is there aren’t enough actual liberals left in the DNC. The majority of the DNC is more than happy to screw over workers to the benefit of corporations. What resistance they provide is mostly performative, as their real priorities are dictated by what the large corporate donors are paying for.
Yeah, notice there isn’t a McResistance this time around like there was with the performative pussy hats and shit.
No, the problem is there are too many liberals in the party and not enough leftists. Liberals love them some anti-worker pro-corporate welfare and other right-wing policies that only benefit the rich.

You’re assuming there will be elections again
it’s going back to trump’s threshold too. if you were enjoying OT with a 37K salary, congratulations, you’re exempt now
Imagine being a salaried employee and only earning $16.80 per hour, assuming 40 hours a week. I wonder what type of work this even covers as that’s slightly above minimum wage here, and it requires you to work all those extra hours for free.
about the whole “a work week is 40 hours” thing too…
Best get used to it. It’s going to be tough for a while.
It’s always texas, it’s never not texas, is texas just trying to become mississipi? Because it’s very quickly headed there.
People file their cases in this district specifically because it has a bunch of conservative friendly judges.
Haha. Sucks to be the Texas working class. Won’t get paid for overtime, wives dying from childbirth, lack of good health care, poor education.
Ya voted, la la la la la 🧏
this is a federal court in Texas, that means it’s being blocked nationally.
Well, then It sucks everywherre woooooo
Get what they vote for!
You seem awful celebratory.
Leopards are hilarious, and I just have no more sympathy left in me. I’m exhausted. I hope they all get to reap what they sow.
Oh man, wait til you learn what “Federal” means.
Yes yes I get it.
Of course protecting workers who needs that. /s
